Because the Dark Side can be dark

Vader went through a few different head options before settling on the helmet and face mask we've come to know and love and fear. First, there was the painted-white William Shatner mask, but that had already been done. Then there was this beanie, with a face on it. It was hip and just a touch menacing, if pulled down all the way. Eventually, Vader decided on his iconic look, but we didn't want to let this beanie be forgotten.

Each Star Wars Darth Vader LED Light-Up Beanie features a knit exterior with Vader's mug embroidered into the design (white design on black hat). But wait. When you push the button in the fold-over cuff, tiny cold white LEDs around the eyes and mouth grill light up. And when you push it a second time, they blink, as if a warning. And when you push it a third time, they go dark. This winter, protect your head with the power of the light-up Dark Side.
